PRECAUTIONAR

Y MEASURES
TYPHOON
BEFORE TYPHOON
• HELP YOUR FAMILY CHECK AND FIX YOUR HOUSE FOR ANY
DAMAGE (ESPECIALLY THE ROOFS AND WINDOWS), SO IT CAN
WITHSTAND THE STRONG WINDS.
• REMIND YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TO STOCK UP AN ADEQUATE
FOOD SUPPLY SUCH AS RICE, CANNED GOODS, AND FOODS THAT
WOULD LAST EVEN WITHOUT REFRIGERATION.
• STOCK UP AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF DRINKING WATER, AND WATER
FOR CLEANING OR OTHER PURPOSES.
• PREPARE FLASHLIGHTS, BATTERIES FOR FLASHLIGHTS AND RADIO,
CANDLES AND KEROSENE LAMPS, OR OTHER LIGHTING DEVICES.
• PREPARE A FIRST-AID KIT.
• ALWAYS MONITOR NEWS ABOUT THE TYPHOON,
WHETHER ON TELEVISION OR RADIO. IF THE POWER
IS CUT, KEEP A RADIO ON AND TUNED IN TO NEWS.
• HELP CHECK AND CLEAN YOUR COMMUNITY
DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND CANALS TO PREVENT FLOOD.
• CHECK YOUR ELECTRIC POSTS TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTS. IF YOU NOTICE SOME IMPENDING
DANGER DUE TO WEAK ELECTRIC POSTS THAT MIGHT
FALL, REPORT THIS TO THE ELECTRIC COMPANY SO
THEY CAN REINFORCE IT RIGHT AWAY.
• REMIND FAMILY MEMBERS TO CUT ALL
BRANCHES OF TREES AROUND YOUR HOUSE THAT
COULD POSSIBLY FALL ON YOUR HOUSE.
• HELP CHECK ALL ELECTRICAL WARNINGS.
• TEACH YOUNGER MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY
WHAT TO DO DURING A TYPHOON.
• PACK A BAG WITH CLOTHES, BATTERIES,
FLASHLIGHT, WATER, CANNED GOODS AND OTHER
NECESSITIES, IN CASE YOU HAVE TO EVACUATE.
• PREPARE A FIRST-AID KIT.
DURING TYPHOON
• STAY CALM AND BE ALERT.
• STAY INDOORS. POSTPONE ANY PLANS OF TRAVELS
OR ERRANDS.
• MONITOR THE WEATHER REPORTS. CHECK WHAT IS
HAPPENING AROUND YOU.
• WHEN LOCAL AUTHORITIES ADVISE YOU TO
EVACUATE, DO SO. MOVE FAMILY PETS AND
VALUABLE TO A SAFE PLACE; TURN OFF GAS VALVES,
ELECTRICITY AND WATER, WHEN SAFE TO DO SO.
•IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE OUTDOORS WHEN A TYPHOON
COMES,
•(A) STAY AWAY FROM ELECTRIC POSTS AND WIRES;
•(B) NEVER STAND UNDER A LONE TREE IN AN OPEN
FIELD TO AVOID BEING HIT BY LIGHTNING;
•(C) NEVER FIX YOUR TV ANTENNA DURING A
THUNDERSTORM;
• (D) STAY AWAY FROM BOATS AND FROM BODIES OF
WATER; AND
• (E) ENTER THE NEAREST SAFE SHELTER.
•AVOID STAYING OR GOING TO LOW-
LYING AND COASTAL AREAS THAT ARE
PRONE TO FLOODS OR STORM SURGE.
•BE READY TO EVACUATE IF NECESSARY.
LEAVE YOUR HOUSE AS SOON AS YOU
REALIZE YOU ARE NOT SAFE.
•BOIL DRINKING WATER OR HAVE SOME
BOTTLED WATER READY.
• IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN A CAR OR ANY LAND VEHICLE WHEN THE
TYPHOON COMES, YOU ARE USUALLY SAFE, BUT NOT WHEN
THERE IS A FLOOD.
• IF YOU ROOFS HAVE VERY LITTLE VENTS WHERE WINDS PASS
THROUGH, OR SOMETIMES, WHEN THE WINDS OF A TYPHOON ARE
VERY STRONG, YOU MAY NEED TO OPEN A FEW WINDOWS IN THE
OPPOSITE SIDE OF YOUR HOUSE TO LET THE WIND PASS THROUGH.
• MONITOR FLOOD REPORTS AND PREDICTIONS.
• HAVE A FLOOD PLAN WHICH EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY WILL
FOLLOW WHEN NECESSARY. BE PREPARED TO ACT ON YOUR
FOOD PLAN. PREPARE A FLOOD KIT OF ESSENTIAL ITEMS, JUST
LIKE YOUR ESSENTIALS FOR TYPHOONS.
AFTER TYPHOON
